Lightning Is the Only Way

"Hand over Gravis!" a loud and aggressive shout echoed throughout the whole Lightning Sect. The Sect thundered and trembled with the shout, stopping everyone in their tracks as they all looked at the Sect's entrance. An incredibly powerful person stood at the entrance, radiating unreal power. He wore white robes with gold rims, showing that he was from the Heaven Sect.

He had long red hair, which billowed in an unseen current. It was almost like he was underwater. His red eyes showed a deep arrogance that looked down on everyone in this world. He was a priest, and he was the second most powerful human in this world! No one else could compare.

"He's here!" Old Man Lightning shouted with excitement. "I've been waiting forever for this!" Old Man Lightning shot out of his house and quickly reached the entrance of the Lightning Sect. Lasar, who just came out of the Lightning Tower, smiled happily. Finally, his grandfather had an opportunity to temper himself. Lasar also wanted his grandfather to become more powerful, and even if his grandfather died today, he, at least, had a chance.

Gravis, who was sweating bullets inside the Balzar mine, also looked up. His eyes narrowed as his Spirit inspected the priest that had arrived. By now, he had been punching boulders for four days straight without a break. In some sense, he was annoyed that the priest had taken him out of the flow. Nevertheless, Gravis quickly left the mine. He wanted to see how everything would go down.

"Gravis is part of the Lightning Sect, and I won't allow anyone to kill him inside his home!" the imposing shout of Old Man Lightning came from the entrance, also thundering throughout the Sect. "You have to go through me to get to him!"

The red-haired priest narrowed his eyes. "Insolent! Are you going against the Heaven Sect!?" he shouted.

"So what if I am. What you gonna do about it?" Old Man Lightning shouted imposingly, but Gravis could hear mirth in the shout. Old Man Lightning was really excited right now. After all, he had been waiting for over 100 years for this opportunity.

"Dorian, are you thinking rationally?" the priest shouted at Old Man Lightning as if he had been insulted. "I know that you don't like the Heaven Sect, but are you sure you want to doom the entire Lightning Sect with your foolishness? Think before you act!"

Old Man Lightning sneered. "We are one family, and everyone is ready to go to war to protect one of our kids! If you have a just reason to take Gravis, I won't stay in your way. So, what's your reason for demanding the life of one of my kids?" Old Man Lightning shouted with righteousness.

"Gravis has had a Will-Aura ever since being in the Body Tempering Realm. According to the rules of Heaven, that is not allowed! He must pay with his life!" The priest shouted with fervor.

"That's a lie!" Old Man Lightning shouted, stunning everyone. Was Old Man Lightning questioning Heaven's rules before a Heavenborn?

Nothing appeared, and everything remained silent. The face of the priest blanched as he saw that Heaven didn't act. 'What's going on!?' he thought in panic. This was not like Heaven at all! In the past, it struck down

regret it!" the priest shouted in immense rage. He had never been this disrespected in his life, and his rage started boiling!
